MECH 5124 - Yield-Limited Behavior of Materials

Analysis of material behavior within the “elastic range,” with emphasis on the phenomenon of yield and factors that influence it. Examination of the theory of dislocations; study of strengthening mechanisms in solids. Consideration of various time-dependent but reversible (inelastic) deformation phenomena. Presentation of appropriate engineering case studies to augment various topics. Prereq: MECH 5143. Semester Hours: 3 to 3
